Jan 9, 2025Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is an interesting turn-based pirate adventure, to say the least. The storyline is interesting even if it does go a bit supernatural. The comic book-style dialogue is wonderfully drawn and well-written. I know turn-based combat is hard to keep fresh and interesting but I think this game went a bit too complex with it. Maybe with a bit more on-screen hand it would make more sense but I found it too easy to get lost with the dice roll meanings and the upgrade configuration.

Jan 8, 2025Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is a turn-based strategy game that blends pirate adventure with tactical gameplay, but it falls short of realizing its full potential. While the game offers a compelling pirate-themed narrative and strategic depth, the card system is overly complex and underdeveloped, making it difficult to fully appreciate. The game also suffers from dated graphics that fail to match the quality of its setting, and the reliance on dice rolls for determining combat outcomes occasionally undermines strategic planning, introducing frustrating elements of luck. While it has promise, these issues prevent it from being a standout title in its genre.

Jan 8, 2025Flint: Treasure of Oblivion may be an average adventure at best, however it’s just about entertaining enough to shake off accusations of style over substance.

Jan 22, 2025If Savage Level can improve how this game feels to play, reducing some of the irritable frustrations, then I do believe that Flint: Treasure of Oblivion can entertain for its short duration. But as it stands, especially for players on console or intending to use a controller on PC, there's simply too much to be desired from this game as of the moment.

Jan 17, 2025I just want to play a great pirate game; I feel like nothing has been able to top the experience of Ubisoft’s 2013 Assassins Creed: Black Flag. Even their own Skull and Bones pales in comparison. Flint: Treasure of Oblivion has an interesting concept by exploring Captain Flint from the Treasure Island novel. But the execution here makes it hard to recommend; ranging from minor issues and frame drops to confusing game elements and a lot of pointless wandering around the maps make this one feel like it should have just remained lost at sea.
